Slender Concrete Column Design in Sway Frame - Moment Magnification Method (ACI 318-19)
Evaluate slenderness effect for columns in a sway frame multistory reinforced concrete building by designing the first story exterior column. The clear height of the first story is 15 ft-6 in., and is 9 ft. for all of the other stories. Lateral load effects on the building are governed by wind forces. Compare the calculated results with the values presented in the Reference and with exact values from spColumn engineering software program from StructurePoint.
